Description
About the Book
The Bible has a lot to say about the body. Organized around three categories--creation, fall, redemption--this book by Sam Allberry provides readers with a balanced theology of the body as they seek to glorify God in everything they do.
Book Synopsis
"God's eternal plan for us involves our body. We can't write off our physical life as spiritually irrelevant." --Sam Allberry
There's a danger in focusing too much on the body. There's also a danger in not valuing it enough. In fact, the Bible has lots to say about the body. With the coming of Jesus, "The Word became flesh and dwelt among us"--flesh that was pierced and crushed for the sins of the world.
In What God Has to Say about Our Bodies, Sam Allberry explains that all of us are fearfully and wonderfully made, and should regard our physicality as a gift. He offers biblical guidance for living, including understanding gender, sexuality, and identity; dealing with aging, illness, and death; and considering the physical future hope that we have in Christ.
In this powerfully written book, you'll gain a new understanding for the immeasurable value of our bodies and God's ultimate plan to redeem them.
